I have been doing about 1.5 - 2hrs training a day with one rest day a week for 8 months now, from a fat slob PC chair potato base before that.
I'm now happy with my weight and strength and my cardio fitness is vastly improved, but I would still like to build it more. Recovery is good, but I would like to be able to go full power for longer before huffing and puffing, wouldn't we all
What I want to know is, how long should I expect it to take to see a noticeable boost in fitness ? I'm doing hills / intervals / weights / treadmill / rowing machine, but will focus on hills/interval riding now.
If I take my training to the next level (I'm already going fairly hard) would I see an improvement in cardio in 2 weeks ?
Also how long a break do you take from training before a big race ? I was thinking just cutting back for a couple of days.
How long does it take to start losing fitness ? if I had a rest for 2 weeks would my fitness suffer much ?
I have a 6hour race coming up in 3 weeks and 2 weeks after that is Wildside. I hope my legs will have recovered by then. Hmmmm I'm starting to ramble now
